DEATH A MILD PUNISH VI EN- r,

Nee d for Revival of the Exquisit tie
TOrtures of Middle Ages.
LOUISVILLE, June News has just
been received from Elkhart, Ird., that
on Sunday morning Charles and Ray
Davis called at the farm of John Flanni-
gan. and after inducing two of his sons
to go to another part of the farm, they
forcibly carried off the twelve-year. old
daughter of Flanagan to the adjacent
woods and tied her to tree and out.
ragged her. The next morning the girl
was found by some neighbors still
gagged and bound. She was almost de.
lirious from her sufferings. but she re.
covered sufficiently to give the names of
those who assailed her. A party was
soon organized and the Davis boys were
pursued and captured. They were both
taken to the scene of their crime and
hanged. John Euglew, who was
strongly suspected of being a participant
in this villainous deed, was also hunted
down and lynched.

Dramatic.

BARLEY Campbell's drama of the
Galley SLAVE was produced last night by
the Morrison troupe to much better
house than was present the night before.
The piece has ell the blemishes and
merits characteristic of Campbelrs
plays. Startling dramatic effects are
produced by impossible coincid enoes,
enlivened with sparkling dialogue and
the introduction of wonderfully eccentric
people. Yet one is constrained to
watch with rapt interest the
development of the plot, and
to feel deeply concerned in the denou.
ment, which is always happy one in
this class of plays. The leading charac--
tiers were well psrsonated last night.
Unfortunately the events Of the piece
transpired principally in France, invol-
wing the use occasionally of French
proper names, which sound queer when
subjected to the English rules of pro-
nunciation. The Galley Slace will be
repeated tonight.

THE SAILING m4rCH.
Rated the very best Yacht Itac
Vet.

LONDON, June la snart easterly
wind was blowing at 1880 A. NJ, when
the yachts started in the following order:
Genesta, Thistle, Irex, Sleuth Hound.
The latter throughout the race kept on
the starboard tack, and well to wind
ward. The Genesta gradually drew
away, leaving the Trek and Thistle TO
bsffle with each other, which they did to
such an extent that the Ginesta, after
going further down to reech than the
other, came about with : strong lead.
Thistle and Irex came round to wind
ward, hugged each other for some die
tance but coming about again the Thistle
was we'll away from Trek, and after that
had no more trouble with her.
The Genesta kept the lead with the
Thistle gradually closing long gap till
off Hole Havin, when the Thistle went
past. At the Mare she wat three quar-.
ters of mile ahead, and the same dis
tance separated Genesta and Irex. At
Mouse Light Ship the Thisle was eight
minutes ahead of Genests, which was
one aud q half minutes ahead of Irex.
Once around they had straight run
home. They started with main sails,
top sails, jibs and fore sails, and after
turning the ship shifted her top sails
for bigger ones, and run up spinnakers
and iib.top.sails, and Thistle set a bal
loon fore sail.
Sleuth Hound was not timed. This
match is considered the first really fair
test of the Thistle.
Since theresult of the Hatlan- Gaudaur
race became known here, holders Of
stakes in the match between Beach and
Hanlan have been beseiged with in
quiries as to whether the race will
take place or not. The keenest disap.
pointment is felt over the victory of
Gaudaur.

New Features Given by
Kissane's Wife.
SHOT BY A BAD INEBRIATE.
An Agreed Divorce Wherein There
was a Failure-Cars Damaged
Near Florence.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
SAN Francisco, June l.-Since the
fact of the whereabouts (now widely and
notoriously KNOWN of William Kissane,
alias VIM. X. Rogers, were made known
two days ago, the newspaper men have
visited his ranch, about three miles from
Sonoma. The house of Kissane is of
stone with broad veranda, and is most
charmingly situated. AT his home are
his wife, grown son and two grown
daughters. To a reporter to-day the
wife of Kissane said: General Francis
Darr, to whom is ascribed the reopening
OF Kissane's Eastern career, had made
the exposure owing to Kissaae's failure
to pay his own claim for $4,000 on
account of the Chemical Bank of New
York. Since the suit had actually been
commenced Darr's amount had dropped
to S4300." Mrs. Rogers says, General
Darr and his wife had visited them at
their homo prior to the publication OF
the details of her husbands supposed
career, aud, as she claims, to take an in.
ventory Of their effects; but while visit
ing they had expressed only the most
friendly personal regard. Mrs. Rogers
was asked how she thought the affair
would end. 81 know how it would
have ended long ago. il I had not begged
and implored my husband, for my sake
and the sake of his own children, to
leave the punishment of Darr's malice
and cruelty to some other hand than his
own." Sine replied: ''It is well for
General Darr that Colonel Rogers has
family around him, and some of them.
little ones, or long before this he would
have had to settle with the man whom
he has pursued like fiend for no cause
that we can imagine. except this desire
to eytort money!" She said her husband
would defend this matter in the courts.
